Prison performing “Mental Illness“ from their 2019 album, “Still Alive.“ Spotify: iTunes / Apple Music: Instagram: Facebook: Bandcamp: Twitter: Merchandise: Engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered by Austin Coupe: Directed by Joey Durango Lyrics: Mental illness is not a name To be abused for fortune or fame Mental illness is not a game There are no winners Don't bother to play Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt Of all the approaches that you could have chosen (you could have chosen) This has got to be the lowest of the lowest (of the lowest) I bet you think that you've seen it all But you don't know the half 'Cause all you do is play the part But we can see right through your lifeless act Anxiety is not a calling card (calling card) Have you ever had a suicidal thought? And depression is not a fashion statement It's just a matter of time until you get caught So don't pretend to understand You can't pretend to understand You want to see crazy? I'll show you crazy I've been diagnosed with everything in the book But you… night after night, living a fictional life you don't believe in It's going to catch up with you one of these days You can only fake it for so long You can only lie to so many kids Karma bows to no man Do it Don't pretend to understand Those scars are painted on Don't pretend to understand You're not fooling anyone Mental illness is not a trend You want to tempt fate? Go right ahead Mental illness is not a fad You want to taunt death? You'll wish you never had
